Kelly Baker Wins BME Departmental Service Award

Kelly Baker is the first recipient of the BME Departmental Service Award. This award is given in recognition of her exceptional leadership and service to her peers and to the mission of the Department of Biomedical Engineering while maintaining a successful academic career. Kelly's commitment to Biomedical Engineering and her actions as an advocate of the department to fellow students and the administration are truly worthy of recognition. She participated in M-Heal, led BMES as President, and mentored BME underclassmen during her time here. Kelly's service extended beyond the BME community as well. She led tours of the college, took notes for the hearing-impaired, and volunteered in the community through several organizations.

Today's industry environment calls for mentors and leaders capable of working with others, who are able to collaborate, innovate, and inspire without dominating any project. Kelly brought this skill to the projects she undertook, and BME benefited greatly. We are very proud to count Kelly among our alumni, and wish her success in her future career.
